H.E.S.S. (High Energy Stereoscopic System) is an array of four large imaging Cherenkov telescopes devoted to gamma-ray astronomy above 100 GeV. The good angular resolution (4'), the high sensitivity (10 mCrab) and the large field of view (5° diameter) make it an ideal instrument for the study of extended sources such as supernova remnants. Observations performed in 2003 and 2004 led to the detection of the shell-type supernova remnants RX J1713.7-3946 and RX J0852.0-4622 and to the non-detection of SN1006. Results obtained with these observations as well as data at other wavelengths are used to discuss the origin of the gamma-ray signal.
